My husband, Bill, and I drove slowly down a road that Sunday afternoon ten years ago. With no destination in mind, we were exploring the countryside around our recently rented apartment in Allen, Texas. Neither of us had ever been in this neck of the woods. Yet somehow that day we had both felt gently drawn.
“It’s beautiful here,” I said to Bill, pointing out the wildflowers. The road turned suddenly, revealing a charming downtown. We drove a bit farther and saw a subdivision (建房土地) under construction in the suburbs of the town. We didn’t intend to buy a new home but surprisingly, we parked and took a tour of the unfinished houses.
“I don’t know about you,” Bill said, “but there’s something about this place that calls to me.” I felt it too. As if we belonged there. Numerous times in our marriage, Bill and I have acted on faith, even when we didn’t immediately understand where we were being led or why. By nightfall, we signed a contract for a house. Three months later, we moved in.
My aunt called one day, “You moved to Anna! What a small world it is! Didn’t you know that your great-great-grandmother, Rebecca, moved to Anna at the end of the 1800s?” Bill was as astonished as I was.
Three years later a historical marker was placed near our home, noting that the land was the original homestead (宅地) of Collin McKinney, a pioneer who’d helped draft the Texas Declaration of Independence. We knew of him as my husband’s great-great-great-grandfather, but we had no idea we were living on a piece of land that was once his homestead.
It all made sense now. The Lord led us to move to Anna, the land of our ancestors, so we could feel rooted, connected to our heritage. No wonder we’re so at home here!
4. Why did the author mention their exploration ten years ago?
A. To recall their impressive adventure.
B. To show their familiarity with the land.
C. To present the ideal home in their heart.
D. To indicate an invisible force guiding them.
5. What exactly does “the small world” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A Owning the same house of their ancestors.
B. Moving to where their ancestors once lived.
C. Sharing similar thoughts with their ancestors.
D. Buying the exact house the author’s aunt loves.
6. What were the couple’s feelings about their magical experience?
A. Puzzled and uneasy.
B. Frightened and anxious.
C. Confused and frustrated.
D. Surprised and delighted.
7. What can be the besl title for the passage?
A. A Land of Wonder
B. A Mysterious Way Home
C. An Uoforgctable Journey
D. An Adventurc of Secking Truth
C
A13th-century Italian mathematician called Leonardo of Pisa penned one of the world’s most famous sequences of numbers, the Fibonacci sequence. It is a series where each number is the sum of the two numbers before it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc. When you divide any number above five by the number before it, the result approaches about 1. 618, known as the “golden ratio (黄金比例)”.
Leonardo, also called Fibonacci, included the sequence in the book Liber Abaci, intended for tradesmen to track their finances. In this, he uses an unrealistic cxample of rabbits reproducing to explain the sequence, where one rabbit pair produces a single young each month that mates with another rabbit to produce a single rabbit the following month. Each month, the number of rabbits increases by the same number in the Fibonacci sequence. Leonardo is often credited with discovering the sequence. However, it has been used in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system since at least 200 BCE.
The “golden”quality of the ratio seemingly shows up everywhere, which early scholars saw as the presence of universal order. For example, it has been seen in the spirals (螺旋) of some seashells, or seeds on sunflower heads. Fibonacci numbers determine even proportions (比例) in the human body. Artists have used the famous ratio to produce appealing works of art, such as the Mona Lisa. The golden ratio makes many appearances throughout the songs of some of the great musicians. Mozart used the golden ratio while composing. Lady Gaga’s hit song Perfect ILlusion, bas a dramatic key change at the 1Ith second of the 179-second song, nearly the golden ratio.
While humans love to see patterns, some people in the scientific community suggest there are many examples of nature not following the rule. However, the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio highlight the interconnectedness of math, science, and creativity. They remind us that patterns — whether in sunflower seeds, or musical rhythms —invite us to uncover the hidden rules shaping our world.
8. What defines the Fibonacci sequence?
A. Each number is completely irrelevant.
B. Each number increases by 1. 618 times.
C. Each number is the square of the previous one.
D. Each number is the total of the two previous ones.
9. What was the primary purpose of the Fibonacci sequence in Liber Abaci?
A. To explain rabbit reproduction patterns.
B. To prove the existence of the golden ratio.
C. To assist tradesmen in financial record-keeping.
D. To challenge the Hindu-Arabic numeral system.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Golden ratio’s origin in nature
B. Golden ratio’s application in life
C. Golden ratio’s presence in the world.
D. Golden ratio’s role in scientific studies.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Rules need to be explored constantly.
B. Patterns need to be created ceaselessly.
C. Connections of arts should be valued greatly.
D. The laws of nature should be followed strictly.
D
In many cultures, saying someone else’s given name is disrespectful, especially if they have higher status than you. Even your parents might never call your name. It’s not that they don’t remember what their friends and relatives are called. Rather, saying names makes them feel anxious, uneasy, or simply awkward.
In 2023, a group of psychologists called this phenomenon “Alexinomia”, and those who feel it most severely might avoid addressing anyone by their name in any case. “Aexinomia” is strongest around those they are closest to, so some people can’t bring themselves to say the name of their wife or best friend.
Steven Clayman, a sociology professor, explained in one of his books, “People with Alexinomia are likely to have this intuition (直觉) that to use a name is to take a stand and to do something they don’t intend to do.” Actually, Alexinomia is a mostly harmless quirk (怪癖) of the human experience. However, if we always avoid saying the names of those closest to us, it can distort (扭曲) how they feel about us.
Names are always optional in a conversation because they aren’t grammatically necessary. However, if you can call others’ names at a right moment, their social function will shine through obviously. For example, American salespeople are trained to say customers’ names over and over again, which is also a common tactic for building a close relationship in business, during telemarketing calls and on first dates.
As Dale Carnegie wrote, “a person’s name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language to that person.” Leaning to overcome the discomfort and say their names can remind your loved ones that you care, even though the process of change is challenging.
12. Which of the following can best describe “Alexinomia”?
A. A disorder making people mistake others’ names.
B. A communication style stressing titles over names.
C. A discomfort of calling names when communicating.
D. A dilemma of using nicknames instead of real names.
13. Why do some people suffer from “Alexinomia”?
A. They try to take a stand in certain cases.
B. They feel stressed for being called names publicly.
C. They think naming is grammatically wrong in talks.
D They sense using names may cause undesirable results.
14. What does the underlined word “tactic” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Preference B. Strategy
C. Sense D. Alternative
15. What might the following paragraphs focus on?
A. The necessity of calling names
B. The causes leading to Alexinomia.
C. The significance of people’s names.
D. The solutions to overcoming Alexinomia.

Everyone occasionally has disagreements with friends or family members. While disagreements can be uncomfortable, here are some steps you can take to make conversations more civil and productive.
____16____
Even if you don’t share someone’s point of view, you can still listen to what they have to say. Show that you’re paying attention by listening carefully without interrupting. Think about how their life experiences may be different from yours, which gives them a perspective different from yours too. Another way to show that you’re listening is by asking questions or repeating what they said.
Use respectful language
____17____ That is true especially if it’s on a subject you’re passionate about. Some people shoot down others’ opinions by using sarcasm (讽刺) or attacking the person’s judgment. Avoid using rude words, like “stupid”, or “foolish”. Instead, focus on speaking calmly. ____18____ For example, you might lead your opinion with “I feel” or “I see this another way”.
Stick to the facts
If you have a strong opinion, you can make a better case for it with facts instead of feelings. Start by asking if you can share your opinion. Then, relax your shoulders and say what you would like to say in a calm voice. If you get interrupted, gently remind the person that you gave them a turn to speak and now you would like to speak. ____19____
Find common ground
You may find that you can’t change the other person’s mind, and they may not change yours.
____20____You may also gain a better understanding of each other’s opinion. In the end, it’s worth the effort because healthy communication builds strong relationships and communities.
A. Accept their opinion
B. See their perspective
C. Then give the person a chance to respond.
D. You can still look for points you do agree on.
E. Start your statements with “I” rather than “You”.
F. When you disagree with someone’s opinion, it’s easy to reject it.
G. You’d better avoid arguments to have meaningful conversations.

“Who would like to show your project first?” My science teacher Mrs. Williams asked. I lowered my head. “Please don’t call on me”, I prayed silently. “Ava, Come up front,” Mrs. Williams announced. Ava happily skipped to the front. She demonstrated how to make electricity using potatoes and it was impressive. Next was my friend Jaycee. His cheeks turned red as he spoke. He showed us a rainbow experiment, which fascinated everyone.
“Michael, please present your project,” said Mrs. Williams. My heart raced as I walked to the front and placed my birdhouse on the table. “This is how to build a birdhouse,” I began nervously. “Look at your audience, Michael,” Mrs. Williams reminded me gently. I swallowed the baseball-sized lump (肿块) in my throat and started again.
“I searched online how to build a birdhouse. My dad drove me to the lumberyard (木料场), where someone cut four pieces using the measurements I gave for the walls, and then helped me drill the entrance hole.”
Luka, who always asked endless questions, raised his hand. “If others did most of the work, what exactly did you do?”
I swallowed. The lump in my throat was now the size of a basketball. “I came up with the idea and designed a removable roof for cleaning, “I lifted the roof to show everyone.” Then I nailed (钉牢) all the walls together. “I had left one of the nails sticking out a little on purpose so that I could nail it on the spot. I picked up the hammer (锤子) and gave the nail a mighty hit. There was a deep breath, and then nobody spoke. The clock above the classroom door ticked like something out of an adventure movie. Unexpectedly, the birdhouse broke and collapsed.
“I wanted to show you how to build a birdhouse—AND how to take it apart,” I said, thinking fast.
I was sure there was sweat streaming down my face.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

My husband, Bill, and I drove slowly down a road that Sunday afternoon ten years ago. With no destination in mind, we were exploring the countryside around our recently rented apartment in Allen, Texas. Neither of us had ever been in this neck of the woods. Yet somehow that day we had both felt gently drawn.
“It’s beautiful here,” I said to Bill, pointing out the wildflowers. The road turned suddenly, revealing a charming downtown. We drove a bit farther and saw a subdivision (建房土地) under construction in the suburbs of the town. We didn’t intend to buy a new home but surprisingly, we parked and took a tour of the unfinished houses.
“I don’t know about you,” Bill said, “but there’s something about this place that calls to me.” I felt it too. As if we belonged there. Numerous times in our marriage, Bill and I have acted on faith, even when we didn’t immediately understand where we were being led or why. By nightfall, we signed a contract for a house. Three months later, we moved in.
My aunt called one day, “You moved to Anna! What a small world it is! Didn’t you know that your great-great-grandmother, Rebecca, moved to Anna at the end of the 1800s?” Bill was as astonished as I was.
Three years later, a historical marker was placed near our home, noting that the land was the original homestead (宅地) of Collin McKinney, a pioneer who’d helped draft the Texas Declaration of Independence. We knew of him as my husband’s great-great-great-grandfather, but we had no idea we were living on a piece of land that was once his homestead.
It all made sense now. The Lord led us to move to Anna, the land of our ancestors, so we could feel rooted, connected to our heritage. No wonder we’re so at home here!
4. Why did the author mention their exploration ten years ago?
A. To recall their impressive adventure.
B. To show their familiarity with the land.
C. To present the ideal home in their heart.
D. To indicate an invisible force guiding them.
5. What exactly does “the small world” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. Owning the same house of their ancestors.
B. Moving to where their ancestors once lived.
C. Sharing similar thoughts with their ancestors.
D. Buying the exact house the author’s aunt loves.
6. What were the couple’s feelings about their magical experience?
A. Puzzled and uneasy.
B. Frightened and anxious.
C. Confused and frustrated.
D. Surprised and delighted.
7. What can be the besl title for the passage?
A. A Land of Wonder
B. A Mysterious Way Home
C. An Uoforgctable Journey
D. An Adventurc of Secking Truth
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和丈夫Bill在十年前的一个周日下午,漫无目的地驾车探索他们新租公寓附近的乡村,最终在一个名为Anna的小镇买下了一栋房子,并发现这块土地与他们家族的历史有着深厚的联系。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。文章开篇描述了十年前作者和丈夫漫无目的地探索乡村,被吸引到一个地方,虽无意买房但最终还是签订了购房合同。之后作者得知自己的高曾祖母曾搬到这里,且所住之地是丈夫高曾曾祖父的宅地。根据文章第三段“Numerous times in our marriage, Bill and I have acted on faith, even when we didn’t immediately understand where we were being led or why.(在我们的婚姻生活中,Bill和我曾多次凭着信念行事,即便我们当时并不清楚自己被引领到何处,也不知道为什么会这样。)”以及最后一段“It all made sense now. The Lord led us to move to Anna, the land of our ancestors, so we could feel rooted, connected to our heritage.(现在一切都解释得通了。上帝引领我们搬到了安娜镇,这片我们祖先生活过的土地,这样我们就能感受到自己在这里扎根,与我们的家族传承紧密相连。)”推知,第一段提到10年前的一次探索是为了表明有一种无形的力量(上帝的引领)在引导着他们来到这个地方。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“My aunt called one day, “You moved to Anna! What a small world it is! Didn’t you know that your great-great-grandmother, Rebecca, moved to Anna at the end of the 1800s?” Bill was as astonished as I was.(有一天,我的姑姑打来电话:“你们搬到安娜镇了!世界可真小啊!你们难道不知道你的高曾祖母Rebecca是在19世纪末搬到安娜镇来的吗?” Bill和我一样惊讶不已。)”可知,作者和丈夫搬到了安娜镇,而作者的高曾祖母Rebecca曾在19世纪末搬到了安娜镇。所以“the small world”在这里指的是作者和丈夫搬到了他们祖先曾经居住过的地方。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Bill was as astonished as I was.( Bill和我一样惊讶不已。)”可知,作者和丈夫在没有计划的情况下被吸引到安娜镇并最终购房定居。当得知自己的高曾祖母曾搬到这里,以及所住之地是丈夫高曾曾祖父的宅地时,两人感到很惊讶;再根据文章最后一段“It all made sense now. The Lord led us to move to Anna, the land of our ancestors, so we could feel rooted, connected to our heritage.(现在一切都解释得通了。上帝引领我们搬到了安娜镇,这片我们祖先生活过的土地,这样我们就能感受到自己在这里扎根,与我们的家族传承紧密相连。)”可知,他们觉得这一切都有了合理的解释,并且感受到与祖先的传承有了紧密的联系,在这个地方很有归属感,内心是高兴的。因此,这对夫妇对他们神奇经历的感受是惊讶且高兴。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫十年前在漫无目的的探索中,被引领到安娜镇并购买了房子,后来发现这里是他们祖先曾经居住过的地方,仿佛是一种神秘的力量引导他们回到了“家”,有一种寻根的意味。选项B“A Mysterious Way Home(一条神秘的回家之路)”中的“神秘”对应他们被无形力量引导来到这里的经历,“回家”体现了他们发现这里是祖先居住过的地方,找到了归属感,符合文章主旨。故选B。
C
A13th-century Italian mathematician called Leonardo of Pisa penned one of the world’s most famous sequences of numbers, the Fibonacci sequence. It is a series where each number is the sum of the two numbers before it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc. When you divide any number above five by the number before it, the result approaches about 1. 618, known as the “golden ratio (黄金比例)”.
Leonardo, also called Fibonacci, included the sequence in the book Liber Abaci, intended for tradesmen to track their finances. In this, he uses an unrealistic cxample of rabbits reproducing to explain the sequence, where one rabbit pair produces a single young each month that mates with another rabbit to produce a single rabbit the following month. Each month, the number of rabbits increases by the same number in the Fibonacci sequence. Leonardo is often credited with discovering the sequence. However, it has been used in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system since at least 200 BCE.
The “golden”quality of the ratio seemingly shows up everywhere, which early scholars saw as the presence of universal order. For example, it has been seen in the spirals (螺旋) of some seashells, or seeds on sunflower heads. Fibonacci numbers determine even proportions (比例) in the human body. Artists have used the famous ratio to produce appealing works of art, such as the Mona Lisa. The golden ratio makes many appearances throughout the songs of some of the great musicians. Mozart used the golden ratio while composing. Lady Gaga’s hit song Perfect ILlusion, bas a dramatic key change at the 1Ith second of the 179-second song, nearly the golden ratio.
While humans love to see patterns, some people in the scientific community suggest there are many examples of nature not following the rule. However, the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio highlight the interconnectedness of math, science, and creativity. They remind us that patterns — whether in sunflower seeds, or musical rhythms —invite us to uncover the hidden rules shaping our world.
8. What defines the Fibonacci sequence?
A. Each number is completely irrelevant.
B. Each number increases by 1. 618 times.
C. Each number is the square of the previous one.
D. Each number is the total of the two previous ones.
9. What was the primary purpose of the Fibonacci sequence in Liber Abaci?
A. To explain rabbit reproduction patterns.
B. To prove the existence of the golden ratio.
C. To assist tradesmen in financial record-keeping.
D. To challenge the Hindu-Arabic numeral system.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Golden ratio’s origin in nature
B. Golden ratio’s application in life
C. Golden ratio’s presence in the world.
D. Golden ratio’s role in scientific studies.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Rules need to be explored constantly.
B. Patterns need to be created ceaselessly.
C. Connections of arts should be valued greatly.
D. The laws of nature should be followed strictly.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斐波那契数列及其与黄金比例的关系,详细阐述了该数列的起源、在自然界和艺术中的应用,以及人们对这一数学现象的不同看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It is a series where each number is the sum of the two numbers before it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc.(这是一个数列,其中每个数字都是它前面两个数字的和:0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,等等。)”可知,斐波那契数列的定义是每个数字都是它前面两个数字的和。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Leonardo, also called Fibonacci, included the sequence in the book Liber Abaci, intended for tradesmen to track their finances.(莱昂纳多也被称为斐波那契,他在《算盘全书》这本书中引入了这个数列,这本书是为商人记录财务状况而写的。)”可知,斐波那契在《算盘全书》中引入这个数列是为了帮助商人记录财务状况。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第三段首句“The “golden” quality of the ratio seemingly shows up everywhere, which early scholars saw as the presence of universal order.( 这个比例的 “黄金” 特质似乎无处不在,早期的学者们认为这体现了宇宙的秩序。)”点明主旨,即黄金比例的“黄金”特质似乎无处不在,早期学者将其视为宇宙秩序的体现。随后举例说明黄金比例在贝壳螺旋、向日葵种子排列、人体比例、艺术作品以及音乐创作等方面的体现,强调了黄金比例在世界各处的存在。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While humans love to see patterns, some people in the scientific community suggest there are many examples of nature not following the rule. However, the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio highlight the interconnectedness of math, science, and creativity. They remind us that patterns — whether in sunflower seeds, or musical rhythms —invite us to uncover the hidden rules shaping our world.(虽然人类喜欢寻找规律,但科学界的一些人认为,有很多自然界的例子并不遵循这一规则。然而,斐波那契数列和黄金比例凸显了数学、科学和创造力之间的内在联系。它们提醒我们,无论是在向日葵的种子中,还是在音乐的节奏里,这些规律都能引导我们去发现塑造我们这个世界的那些隐藏的规则。)”可知,文章最后一段指出虽然科学界有人认为自然界有很多例子不遵循黄金比例规则,然而斐波那契数列和黄金比例凸显了数学、科学和创造力之间的内在联系,并且它们提醒我们这些规律(无论是在向日葵种子还是音乐节奏中)都能引导我们去发现塑造我们这个世界的那些隐藏的规则。因此,作者在最后一段暗示的是规则需要不断地去探索。故选A。
D
In many cultures, saying someone else’s given name is disrespectful, especially if they have higher status than you. Even your parents might never call your name. It’s not that they don’t remember what their friends and relatives are called. Rather, saying names makes them feel anxious, uneasy, or simply awkward.
In 2023, a group of psychologists called this phenomenon “Alexinomia”, and those who feel it most severely might avoid addressing anyone by their name in any case. “Aexinomia” is strongest around those they are closest to, so some people can’t bring themselves to say the name of their wife or best friend.
Steven Clayman, a sociology professor, explained in one of his books, “People with Alexinomia are likely to have this intuition (直觉) that to use a name is to take a stand and to do something they don’t intend to do.” Actually, Alexinomia is a mostly harmless quirk (怪癖) of the human experience. However, if we always avoid saying the names of those closest to us, it can distort (扭曲) how they feel about us.
Names are always optional in a conversation because they aren’t grammatically necessary. However, if you can call others’ names at a right moment, their social function will shine through obviously. For example, American salespeople are trained to say customers’ names over and over again, which is also a common tactic for building a close relationship in business, during telemarketing calls and on first dates.
As Dale Carnegie wrote, “a person’s name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language to that person.” Leaning to overcome the discomfort and say their names can remind your loved ones that you care, even though the process of change is challenging.
12 Which of the following can best describe “Alexinomia”?
A. A disorder making people mistake others’ names.
B. A communication style stressing titles over names.
C. A discomfort of calling names when communicating.
D. A dilemma of using nicknames instead of real names.
13. Why do some people suffer from “Alexinomia”?
A. They try to take a stand in certain cases.
B. They feel stressed for being called names publicly.
C. They think naming is grammatically wrong in talks.
D. They sense using names may cause undesirable results.
14. What does the underlined word “tactic” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Preference B. Strategy
C. Sense D. Alternative
15. What might the following paragraphs focus on?
A. The necessity of calling names
B. The causes leading to Alexinomia.
C. The significance of people’s names.
D. The solutions to overcoming Alexinomia.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“Alexinomia”这一现象,即某些人在称呼他人名字时感到不适或避免使用名字的心理倾向,并解释了其背后的文化、心理和社会因素。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In many cultures, saying someone else’s given name is disrespectful, especially if they have higher status than you. Even your parents might never call your name. It’s not that they don’t remember what their friends and relatives are called. Rather, saying names makes them feel anxious, uneasy, or simply awkward.(在许多文化中,直呼他人的名是不尊重人的表现,尤其是当对方的地位比你高时。甚至你的父母可能也从不会叫你的名字。这并不是因为他们不记得自己的朋友和亲戚叫什么。而是叫名字会让他们感到焦虑、不安,或者仅仅是觉得尴尬)”以及第二段“In 2023, a group of psychologists called this phenomenon “Alexinomia”, and those who feel it most severely might avoid addressing anyone by their name in any case.(2023年,一群心理学家将这种现象称为“Alexinomia”,那些症状最严重的人在任何情况下都可能避免称呼别人的名字)”可知,在许多文化中叫别人的名字会让人感到不舒服,心理学家把这种现象称为“Alexinomia”,严重的人会避免叫别人的名字。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Steven Clayman, a sociology professor, explained in one of his books, “People with Alexinomia are likely to have this intuition(直觉)that to use a name is to take a stand and to do something they don’t intend to do.”(社会学教授Steven Clayman在他的一本书中解释道:“患有叫名困难症的人很可能会有这样的直觉,即使用一个人的名字就意味着表明一种立场,做一件他们不想做的事情。”)”可知,患有“Alexinomia”的人很可能有这样的直觉,即使用一个人的名字就意味着表明一种立场,做一件他们不想做的事情,也就是他们觉得叫别人名字可能会导致一些他们不希望出现的结果。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“For example, American salespeople are trained to say customers’ names over and over again, which is also a common tactic for building a close relationship in business, during telemarketing calls and on first dates.(例如,美国的销售人员会接受培训,要反复说出客户的名字,这也是在商业活动中建立亲密关系的常用……,在电话推销以及初次约会时也同样如此)”可知,美国销售人员被训练反复说出客户的名字,这是在商业、电话营销和初次约会中建立亲密关系的一种常见方式。由此可知,这里的“tactic”指的是一种为了达到某种目的而采用的方法或策略。选项B“strategy”,意为“策略”,与此相符。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As Dale Carnegie wrote, “a person’s name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language to that person.” Leaning to overcome the discomfort and say their names can remind your loved ones that you care, even though the process of change is challenging.(正如Dale Carnegie所写的:“对一个人来说,在任何一种语言中,他自己的名字都是最甜蜜、最重要的声音。”学会克服这种不适感并叫出他们的名字,可以让你所爱的人知道你在乎他们,尽管改变的过程充满挑战)”可知,作者提到叫出别人的名字能让所爱的人知道你在乎他们,且改变的过程具有挑战性。由此可推断,接下来的段落可能会围绕如何克服这种“Alexinomia”展开,也就是提出克服“Alexinomia”的方法。故选D。

The Power of Art
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The Power of Art
Art, existing everywhere in our life, can endow us with power far beyond our imagination.
When I was young, I was a girl of shy and reserved nature. One day, I wandered into a school art exhibition. The moment I saw those vibrant paintings, I was spellbound. Among them, a watercolor painting of a peaceful forest scene deeply touched me, mirroring the peace I longed for. Inspired, I decided to try painting myself.
Since then art has become an inseparable part of my life. Painting allows me to express my innermost feelings that I struggle to put into words. Art has broadened my perspective, teaching me to see things from different angles. Art has truly given me the power to transform my life, from a timid girl to a confident individual, ready to embrace the world.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Who would like to show your project first?” My science teacher Mrs. Williams asked. I lowered my head. “Please don’t call on me”, I prayed silently. “Ava, Come up front,” Mrs. Williams announced. Ava happily skipped to the front. She demonstrated how to make electricity using potatoes and it was impressive. Next was my friend Jaycee. His cheeks turned red as he spoke. He showed us a rainbow experiment, which fascinated everyone.
“Michael, please present your project,” said Mrs. Williams. My heart raced as I walked to the front and placed my birdhouse on the table. “This is how to build a birdhouse,” I began nervously. “Look at your audience, Michael,” Mrs. Williams reminded me gently. I swallowed the baseball-sized lump (肿块) in my throat and started again.
“I searched online how to build a birdhouse. My dad drove me to the lumberyard (木料场), where someone cut four pieces using the measurements I gave for the walls, and then helped me drill the entrance hole.”
Luka, who always asked endless questions, raised his hand. “If others did most of the work, what exactly did you do?”
I swallowed. The lump in my throat was now the size of a basketball. “I came up with the idea and designed a removable roof for cleaning, “I lifted the roof to show everyone.” Then I nailed (钉牢) all the walls together. “I had left one of the nails sticking out a little on purpose so that I could nail it on the spot. I picked up the hammer (锤子) and gave the nail a mighty hit. There was a deep breath, and then nobody spoke. The clock above the classroom door ticked like something out of an adventure movie. Unexpectedly, the birdhouse broke and collapsed.
“I wanted to show you how to build a birdhouse—AND how to take it apart,” I said, thinking fast.
I was sure there was sweat streaming down my face.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The class burst out laughing and then started clapping—For me!

After class, I decided to rebuild the birdhouse and present it again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The class burst out laughing and then started clapping—For me! I felt my face burning, but then I noticed something surprising — the kids weren’t laughing at me. Jayce gave me an encouraging thumbs-up, and even Luka seemed impressed by my quick fix. Mrs. Williams’ eyes sparkled. “Michael, that was really an unexpected incident! You handled it in a very creative way,” she praised. Gathering courage, I said, jokingly, “Thanks, I guess now you all know what happens when you don’t hammer properly!” The class broke into laughter once more. “Actually, this proves why we need to use the right size nails,” I continued, pointing to the split wood. “And maybe I should have practiced hammering first.” The class chuckled again.
After class, I decided to rebuild the birdhouse and present it again. I spent hours checking measurements, sanding wood edges, and practicing my hammering. A week later, I stood before the class with my new, stabler birdhouse. “Last time, I showed you what not to do,” I started, grinning. “Now, here’s the right way!” I demonstrated each step confidently, my hands steady and my voice clear. When I finished, the class erupted into enthusiastic applause. “Now that’s what I call learning from mistakes,” Mrs. Williams nodded approvingly and suggested I sign up for the district Science Fair. I beamed with pride. My “failure” became my greatest opportunity.
